sorry to be late - had a problem posting
Hey family!!!!
i hope that all is going wonderful there in beautiful naperville/watertown/DC/ wherever you may find yourselves.
things are going great . we were able to have a great zone conference with 113 missionaries last weds. it was so incredible. we had the wonderful opportunity to be able to meet and listen to Elder Jorge F. Zaballos of the 70 and his wife. It was incredible! it was one of the most spiritual and uplifting zone conferences of my life. Elder Zaballos is the first counselor of the area Sur America Sur which now consist of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile. The talks were incredible. The hna agazzani talked about real growth in the church through edifying the kingdom of God. Pres. Agazzani talked about using all members to find new investigators not just the active ones and how to use some new lists and tools that we have out here. there was then a great musical number put your shoulder to the wheel which brought a great spirit. then the Hna Zaballos spoke. she honestly reminded me of mom. she was so happy, loved talking about her children and the power of the gospel. she really gave us this big amazing pep talk. one thing that she said that stuck out a bunch which is something that i have always heard was, "remember who you are" then i added remember what you stand for. its funny in a great way how that thought always comes in my head. i always say it to the AP´s when they leave the house. we honestly always need to remember who we are. We are all sons and daughters of the true and living God. we are representatives of Him and His Son Jesus Christ and we must always act accordingly.
this week i don't believe that i have ever fasted and prayed as much. there were two people who needed a boost this last week. one was Aide from Libertad 1.2. we have never seen anyone more prepared than her. she has a rock testimony but due to her parents she couldn't get baptized this week but she will soon. another was don pico. a great man who recognized his answer from god that he needed to be baptized. due to opposition in the family he was not baptized either. it is a bit of a trial. you give all that you got and the final result didn't come through. you are still a successful missionary though. when you give it all you will be able to stand blameless before God in the last day. this week though we are going to work ever harder and smarter to help incorporate the members more and help build temple testimonies (testimonies that will carry people to the temple). it is such a blessing to be apart of this work.
another huge miracle is Humberto. he was going to get baptized last month but he didn't have a firm testimony of the restoration. now after much faith and prayer he does and he is going to be baptized this week. what a blessing from the Lord.
the mission is amazing. the best two years to become the man/woman that the Lord wants you to become. the key though is humbling yourself to let it happen. its happening to me. i have a new mentality for so many things. I'm more bold and confident. i can testify to people and call them to repentance and to be baptized unlike before. its not because i did something amazing. its because the spirit is guiding me and helping me.
the church is true and the prophets receive revelation.
i love you all so much and pray for you daily
